Brett Sramek plays softball with his team, DOA, at Cosmo Park on Sunday. The team’s name, which stands for Dead on Arrival, was chosen because several of the players are pathologists. The co-ed team admits that their softball skills might not exactly be great, but they all have fun playing.   ¦  LESIA TATARSKY
